Weirdville
As I was walking down a hill
Of my home town, it's called "Weirdville"
Ahead of me, 3 skaters came
As if their boards, propelled by flame
For freely they went flying by
No pushing needed, they barely tried
Then truly did I there behold
4 skooters dashed, with blue and gold
Just as the skaters had before
whistling past myself they tore.
To cap it off on this strange day
2 Roller bladers entered the fray
To match the groups already seen
They passed quick like they'd never been
I thought how strange, this town of mine
So many wonders, and strange signs.
What is so strange about my town of Weirdville?

Hint
The key is in the first line.Answer
The fact that skateboards, skooters, and roller bladers can 'freely' move 'up' hills without need for pushing. The first line mentions the fact that I was walking 'down' a hill and saw all of these groups come ahead of me and fly past me indicating that they were 'free-wheeling' up a hill? Pretty weird if you ask me :P.Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer
